Paul Powlesland Takes Action Again…..
Another example of when a Council appears to forget that it’s there to serve the best interests and carry out the wishes/instructions of the people who elected them…

What is this mania for cutting down trees?
Heartwood
We planted four hundred and twenty trees,
hands thrust deep into nurturing earth;
cold-nosed and blinking from the icy draught,
joyous in expectation.
~
In anguish, I hear
the ripping of bark and heartwood,
letting of xylem and phloem,
wrenched from life,
the magnificent cedar succumbs
to tree surgeon’s blade.
Two hundred years, growing:
In two days of butchery,
ending.
Above the screeching machine,
slicing and shredding,
the silent scream of the tree,
whose loss is mourned
by sheltering songbirds and owls -
who cannot wait for our small trees to grow -
and me.
Wendy Alford February 2012
